Steps for preparation

1. Preparing the ingredients: Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature. This detail will help the egg whites whip better. If you have frozen egg whites, let them thaw completely.

2. Whipping the egg whites: In a large bowl, start whipping the egg whites with a pinch of salt using the mixer. Beat until stiff peaks form.

3. Adding the sugar: Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, continuing to mix until you achieve a glossy and firm meringue.

4. Incorporating the oil and flour: Add the oil and lemon zest, gently folding in with a spatula. Then, start adding the flour, one tablespoon at a time, to avoid deflating the meringue.

5. Preparing the filling: Here comes the fun part! Take a third of the batter and mix it with cocoa powder and coffee essence. This will be your base for the cocoa layers.

6. Preparing the mold: Grease the guguluf mold with butter and sprinkle flour, ensuring there are no sticky spots.

7. Assembling the cake: Pour half of the white batter into the mold. Sprinkle with Turkish delight and chocolate chips, then add the cocoa batter layer. Next, add the raisins and goji berries. Finally, pour the remaining white batter mixed with ground walnuts, smoothing the surface to completely cover the filling.

8. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Place the cake in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes. After the first 10 minutes, reduce the temperature to 160 degrees. Check if it's baked by using a toothpick: if it comes out clean, the cake is ready!

9. Cooling: After removing it from the oven, let it rest for 10 minutes in the mold, then turn it out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

10. Glazing: Prepare the glaze according to the package instructions and pour it evenly over the cake. Sprinkle with coconut on top for an attractive appearance.

11. Serving: Once the glaze has set, you can slice the cake. It is perfect served as a dessert at a festive meal or enjoyed in the morning with a fragrant coffee.

Practical Tips
- Experiment with fillings: you can add chocolate, nuts, or candied fruits, depending on your tastes.
- If you don't have Turkish delight, you can substitute it with chocolate or fresh fruits.
- Make sure to use a quality mixer to achieve a firm meringue from the egg whites.
